Out of the past: March 1

1993

Tenants of the Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport terminal building will have to operate out of their temporary offices for a while longer; the completion of the long-awaited terminal building renovation project has been pushed back to April 17.

For the second consecutive meeting, the Cape Girardeau City Council refuses to approve spending city money to study the feasibility of converting St. Vincent's College into a Civil War museum; members of the Colonial Cape Girardeau Foundation Task Force had recommended the city pay $10,000-$12,000 for the study.

1968

Lester Rhodes files as another candidate for the Cape Girardeau City Council, bringing the number of hopefuls up to five; other candidates are Warren S. Hastings, Ivan L. Irvin, Thomas F. Jackson and Councilman J. Ronald Fischer.

Yesterday was the last day for Louisa Kuegele to be head nurse of Southeast Hospital's obstetrical unit, a post she has held for 13 years; Kuegele will become district nursing coordinator with the Missouri Crippled Children's Service in Cape Girardeau.

1943

The first class of Army Air Force cadets to complete primary flight training at Harris Field here took its leave over the weekend, and a new class, the third, arrived to begin training; the new class, the largest yet to report, arrived Sunday afternoon by train from a southern pre-flight school.

Cape Girardeau housewives, and some husbands, for the first time in their grocery-buying experience, practice dual economy when they go to the stores, shopping to conserve, not only money, but war ration points on processed foods; some store managers can tell no difference in the amount of business done, while others say there is less buying.

1918

As a memorial to the late Harry Naeter, an integral member of the management of The Daily Republican newspaper, the name of this publication changes to The Cape Girardeau Southeast Missourian; in carrying out the plans of Naeter, the newspaper moves from being a partisan political voice to being an independent newspaper working for the betterment of the people of Cape Girardeau and Southeast Missouri.

The Southeast Missourian announces it has become a member of the Associated Press; this membership means this newspaper will now have a news service that is unequaled.
